As Flowers We Doth Bloom





Yes, as flowers, we doth bloom and one day will fall.
This is how life is, one day, we will hear God’s final call.

So, while we are here and have God’s grace to be alive.
Do not try to destroy others, that is just offensive jive.

But being vain and wanting to appear popular and better,
Some brand others with their own form of a Scarlet Letter.

So popular they wanted to be, they become so disingenuous.
Meanwhile, forgetting, indeed, our lives are indeed, tenuous.

Read any portion of history, you will find wonderful people.
since time began 
Yet, others, who presented themselves as perfect but were 
hurtful and plain shams.

Live your life, so that eternity can be yours.
We cannot fool all others, they are far from demure!

Not one perfect human skates upon this planet,
But the pretense that they do, has Satan’s hoof marks upon it.

Well-said, Pangie. Why can't people leave other people alone and we'd all be better off - Bob

Sunshine Smilw, constant friend! Your line, is smashing! IT DOENT HURT ANYONE TO BE KIND…SHOULD BE THE MOTTO OF PS. You must have had a great upbringing. I am more than proud when you read me. While others pass me by like a worthless speed bump. LOL. I know I am relatively new to poetry. But I do have a long way to go. One day at a time and this year a mentor from across the pond. Respect and love, Panagiota

Wise words, Pangie. I think my favorite line is the last one, it reveals the real enemy. :)

Hi, Dear PS.. I think we more than understand one another. The greatest people are the humblest. They go about doing Gods work. I have met so many of them. Small people like to be popular and are all over the site trying to prove it. Self..adoration is what Satan loves. I prefer those without a bullhorn, proving how great they are at every turn. Nuff said. Respect and love, Panagiota

Amen ,love it, none are good even Jesus denied to be called good but only God , If one says they are perfect and good they are calling Jesus a liar but as we see not many seeking Jesus these days, so without Jesus in your life,. Be all you can be ,Be the best and greatest to fool mankind, drink up,this is why Jesus said the tax collectors and prostitutes would enter kingdom of God before the self righteous are those good in their own eyes, blessed are those which seek they are bad and seek God
